For certain things, on doing or not doing them, as to how to execute them, how to make those work or not and about the entire plan or structure as such, we would be much sure about the same. And we would not appreciate others even letting out their opinion about our thought and action plan. You and I have been facing these kinds of situations, more often, in our professional as well as personal life. Now, how can we categorize them or in what genre we can put them? Are we confident about what we are doing? Or are we just being over confident, under estimating the rest of the World? Time to know;
One of my friends Sruthi… she is a Software professional, working on Oracle Financials Domain… it has been more than 3 years she4 has been working in the domain… from an executive to an associate and now, an independent consultant by herself, she has made point, every now and then, she would grow step by step, as an individual and also in her profession. In this process, she had to unlearn a lot many things, adapt herself to work under the supervision of all those who possess comparatively less knowledge than her. There were many situations that she faced day in and day out, that actually used to question her existence as such…
Even then, she never let her self respect turn into an ego and dominate her growth. She was capable enough to adapt herself to the conditions, under play her knowledge, learn from even the minute mistakes she used to make… if necessary, accept those mistakes to be blunders at times, yet learn and never deviated from the point of where she aspires herself to be…
And today, forget all those who used to make fun of her mentality as a looser, all those who questioned herself respect and all those who tagged her silence as under confidence… she is what she wanted to at this point of life…
Now, what does this mean? Do I mean to say, you should tackle the situations as Sruthi did? Not at all… because no two individuals mind set would be alike… it is only that we should not get carried away by any filthy situations and end up working on proving our confidence levels. at the same time, we cannot even under estimate the others knowledge. Adaptability of any given situation and always keeping ourselves open to positive suggestions would change our life for the better.
This is what Sruthi did… she was confident about what she was doing, but never under estimated the others capability, neither judged them on the basis of any qualifications. In many situations, she knew that she could handle them better than others, but she never let her attitude speak, instead worked and succeeded on her worth speaking about the same… she was confident on what she is doing, at the same time adaptable enough to mould according to the situations and work in a team…
Be it in a personal life or a professional life, you might be dealing about n number of situations like this… the genre of them might differ… it is all in you… how would you make the given situation utilize to the maximum level with your confidence or end up just living in vane with your over confidence…
